The Pits Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 The prize for me has to go to Barrie's Essex but generally can't remember seeing that many great plates on a Lotus. Just wondered what else anyone else has spotted out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j2 lot Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 A10 TUS used to be on a fairly new (at the time) Excel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza 907 Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) Thanks !!I've seen A10 TUS.I think it was on a smashed up Esprit being trailered off Castle Coombe quite a few years ago Edited March 3, 2014 by Bazza 907 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibs Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 That's Pilko's plate! There's a pic a few years ago when he parked next to Howard's S4 with E5PRT so it read 'A LOTUS ESPRIT' on the 2 cars Quote 88 Esprit NA, 89 Esprit Turbo SE, Evora, Evora S, Evora IPS, Evora S IPS, Evora S IPS SR, Evora 400, Elise S1, Elise S1 111s, Evora GT410 Sport Evora NA For forum issues, please contact the Moderators.

DaveyT Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Back in the '90s, saw both L8 TUS and LOT 11S within 2 months of each other, each with strategically placed number plate bolts... first was on a Carlton, don't remember what t'other was on though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibs Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 To be fair, this whole topic is a waste of time, B18 TUS is the best plate ever 1 1 Quote 88 Esprit NA, 89 Esprit Turbo SE, Evora, Evora S, Evora IPS, Evora S IPS, Evora S IPS SR, Evora 400, Elise S1, Elise S1 111s, Evora GT410 Sport Evora NA For forum issues, please contact the Moderators.

The Pits Posted March 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) The fudged spelling ones don't do much for me but I saw a really clever plate on a Lancia Integrale once. It was H20OHW. Thought nothing of it until I looked in my rear view mirror and read 'WHOOSH'! Class!

Dunc Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 There is an eclat in Humberside that has ECL4T.... which is a bummer as it stopped me getting that one issued from the DVLA. NB What does BIBTUS mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainBigleux Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 unfortunately we can't choose at all in France... I have to get my new plates asap, but I won't be able to get something for the Esprit. Even If I am lucky there is nothing crazy fun for a lotus, as the french numbers system is AA-001-AA => AA-999-AA => AA-001-AB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelly Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Slightly off topic but one memorable numberplate (on a Disco I think) was YE53 ABY. Spaced to say "YES BABY" Clever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedgerley Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) My first Esprit had an "ooohhh errrr missus" registration which caused wry amusement when I bought it. It then summed up my own feelings when I wrote it off on black ice back in 2008 Edited March 4, 2014 by hedgerley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
